Tom Williams, vice president of programs at Airbus Group NV, adjusts his tie during an event to mark the debut flight of the Airbus A320neo aircraft at Toulouse-Blagnac airport in Toulouse, France, on Thursday, Sept. 25, 2014. The Toulouse, France-based manufacturer's long-term forecast predicts demand for almost 9,300 wide-body planes worth $2.5 trillion -- 1,500 of those in the 400-seat-plus bracket occupied by the A380 -- and more than 22,000 single-aisle planes valued at $2.1 trillion in the market dominated by the A320 and Chicago-based Boeing's 737.
